A zebra is a striped horse, They make different noises to horses, however. Zebras drop 0-2 leather if they are killed. They are needed to create most of the rarer horses, including unicorns, nightmares and bat horses. Zebras can only be tamed whilst riding a zorse, another zebra, or any tier 4 horses; otherwise they will just flee from the player.You can see how to get a "cow horse" by looking at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDzoNfKA_is

Zorses are made when you breed a Zebra with any other horse. They can be used to approach other zebras to tame them. If you are looking to breed horses, you should keep at least two in your stables. The Zorse is the primary step to the advanced breeds. ( and a few potions.)

Another naturally spawning horse. Donkeys can be tamed in the same way as a horse, and can be used to breed a mule (with any other horse) or zonkey (with a zebra). If you Right Click with a chest, you will get extra storage.

Mules are a dark brown, with a white patch on their nose. They have the same long ears as a donkey and can carry bags if given a chest. They are bred by breeding a donkey with any other horse (but not with rare horses or zebras).

In order to use the backpack, right click the horse with the key you are given after adding the backpack whilst not riding.

Undead horses (also known as horse mob) normally spawn at night. They are normally hostile and are sometimes found with a skeleton or zombie rider. There are two types. The zombie horse, which has green rotting flesh that keeps dropping off, and the skeleton horse, which is just bones. These horses cannot be tamed the normal way. You need to have a normal horse and Essence of Undead, made with the Heart of Undead , a drop from them. You will need to feed the potion to the tamed horse and it will turn into a zombie horse. But over time the horse's flesh will drop away, leaving a skeleton horse. There is no way of stopping this. To heal them, you need to use the potion they were created with . If you do the same with a pegasus or bat horse, you will get an undead pegasus which will fly. Whilst riding an undead horse, monsters will not attack you.

The last horse mob is the ghost horse. This creature can only be obtained by killing horses. There are two versions, the normal and flying. A flying ghost horse can be obtained by killing a pegasus or bat horse. They have a 1/10 chance of being replaced with a ghost. You will hear a twinkling noise when it has worked. A normal ghost horse can be obtained by killing any rare horse. Again, you will hear a twinkling noise when it has worked. You are able to place crystal armor on both ghost horses even though they are dead.

Bat horses are another horse mob, which can fly. It has bat-like wings and is normally found deep in caves, sometimes on the surface at night. To obtain a bat horse you will need a zorse and Essence of darkness. All you need to do is feed the potion to the zorse, transforming it into a bat horse. Bat horses are needed to create pegasus.

Press and hold down the jump button (default is spacebar) in order to fly upwards. Release it to slowly descend. Flying horses will flap their wings while they are ascending, but they will glide (with the occasional flap) whilst descending.

The unicorn is a rare horse that can be obtained by breeding, with the help of some potions. They can be made by giving a nightmare Essence of light. Unicorns have a horn, and can buckle opponents if a whip is used on them. They will fall slowly with a trail of stars following them. While riding you will take no fall damage. If you feed one essence of undead, it will turn into an undead unicorn which loses its ability to charge.

The pegasus is one of the rarest horses. They can be obtained by breeding, with the help of some potions. If you give a bat horse Essence of light, it will transform into a pegasus. However, the bat horse must be above the cloud level for it to work or about 150 Y. But they must be standing, not flying in order to transform it into a Pegasus. They can be healed by essence of light.

Press and hold down the jump button (default is spacebar) in order to fly upwards. Release it to slowly descend. Flying horses will flap their wings while they are ascending, but they will glide (with the occasional flap) whilst descending.

Nightmares can be found in the nether as a hostile mob. They can be obtained if you feed a zorse Essence of Fire or by breeding a Unicorn and a regular Pegasus using Pumpkin. If bred with a regular pegasus you will get a winged Nightmare or Dark Pegasus. They have a unique ability to leave a trail of fire behind them. To activate this feed one redstone, or hit the ground around it with a whip.

Black Pegasi can only be obtained from normal pegasi and Essence of Darkness . You need to wait until your pegasi is above the cloud-line (like the bathorse, it must be standing, not flying) and then feed it essence of darkness. To heal one, just feed it more essence of darkness. Also a Black Pegasus can be right-clicked with a Chest for extra storage. When a chest is placed on the Black Pegasus, you are given a key, which you can use to access the chest on the pegasus.

Press and hold down the jump button (default is spacebar) in order to fly upwards. Release it to slowly descend. Flying horses will flap their wings while they are ascending, but they will glide (with the occasional flap) whilst descending.

As of Technic 7.2 mating a Black Pegasi with a Unicorn will produce a normal horse, instead of a fairy horse as with a typical Pegasi and Unicorn mating.

Fairy horses are the rarest horses in the game. They can only be obtained through breeding. If you breed a pegasus and a unicorn (Feed them Essence of Light , not pumpkin ) together you will get a fairy horse. However, you will lose both of the parents. You will however get a sky amulet, armor and saddles back. You can use the sky amulet to get the Pegasus back. you can breed 2 white fairy horses together to get another horse(you keep both parents, unlike if you breed pink or blue).A fairy horse needs to grow naturally when fully grown it is tamed and only needs a Horse Saddle . Fairy horses can do the same things as unicorns and pegasi can, such as flying. If fed one Light Blue Dye , it will turn it blue, if fed one Pink Dye , it will turn pink. To name/tame it, click on it with a Medallion. If you use the Sky Amulet you got when the Fairy Horse was born you release your Pegasus. It can be placed back in side the amulet by right clicking with the amulet again when you are ready to store him again.

Note: If you put your baby Fairy horse in a Fairy Amulet then spawn it back out again it will be full grown.

Taming horses is a simple process. You must feed them to reduce their temper. Each type of horse has an amount of temper that must be removed before it is considered tame. Different foods will reduce temper by different amounts. Here are all foods that can currently (V2.7) be used to reduce temper. Once tamed a horse will not despawn. Now you must put a Horse Saddle on the Horse by holding the saddle and right clicking on the horse

To feed a horse, hold the food you wish to feed it then right click on the horse. As of V2.7 and earlier there is a bug that causes you to eat a sugar Lump when feeding it to a horse, using 2 Sugar Lumps per right click. After reducing temper to 25 or lower the horse must be ridden to complete taming. An additional feeding may be necessary whilst on the horse, giving the player a prompt to name your pet. It is recommended that you reduce temper as much as possible before attempting to ride a horse. To ride a horse right click it while not holding food. To get off a horse, press left shift. While being tamed, horses will buck you off, possibly several times, possibly causing fall damage. You cannot ride an untamed horse in water. Feeding it an apple will to heal act as if its a new horse and you can rename him.

2 non-sterile or Fertile horses (accepts pumpkins, mushroom soup or cake (Essence of light in the case of unicorns and pegasi)

A place where they are within 4 squares of each other and 8 squares minimum away from you and other horses

5 minutes or half a Minecraft day

To breed horses you need to give each of the them a pumpkin or mushroom soup. One of the two that you feed the pumpkin/soup to will become sterile and not be able to breed again unless "Easy Breeding" is on in the mod's options when the foal is born. Turning Easy Breeding on after a horse becomes sterile will not allow it to breed.
After about 5 minutes there will be a third horse. The exact type of breed is determined by the appearance of the parent horses.

Before you can put a saddle on the new horse it must be fully grown. This happens naturally over the course of several minutes. To speed up the growing process, feed the horse (this may not count towards reducing their temper). If you wish to breed a Unicorn with a Pegasus to make a Fairy Horse, you must feed an Essence of Light to both parents.

To breed a Cow Horse (you must be on this to tame a Zebra), look at the breeding chart and breed horses according. To tame a Zebra give it an apple then place a horse saddle (no normal saddle!) on it rope it and take it home. It will follow you with the rope.

Horse Armor is used to protect your horses. There are four types. Iron, gold, diamond and crystal. Crystal will only work on rare horses, such as bat horses, pegasi, fairy horses, and unicorns. No armor works on donkeys, zebras, nightmares, undead, or skeleton horses. To put it on, right click the horse whilst holding it in your hand. You can remove the armor if you don't like it by using shears on them, however it will also remove the saddle.

However, when you store a Fairy horse, Skeleton Horse, Pegasus or ghost horse in an amulet, their armor will fall off, though this will supposedly change in later versions. When a special horse is stored inside an amulet and brought back out, its name will be removed. Special horses CANNOT be renamed by giving it an apple as with regular horses, so be thoughtful when choosing a name. But! You can re-Name your horse with an Medallion.

Horses have a tendency to wander so if you want to keep track of them, it's important that you contain them properly. It's important that there be no grass in their enclosure as predator mobs may spawn. While horses normally require a 2x2 space to move through, it's possible for them to glitch through smaller gaps so eliminating gaps in their pen is a must. Some people are more on-the-go than others and don't want to pen them, so you can use a rope to make your horse follow you around. When the horse is lagging behind you, it will eventually spawn back next to you. If your horse becomes injured simply feed it in the same manner as you tamed him to restore his health. Pegasi, Flying Ghost Horses, and Fairy Horses need to be put in a box (preferably with a high roof, as they like to flap about), or they will fly away. Controling your horses can be done with a whip. This will cause them to lower their heads and remain in the same location. Below are a few pictures of the Stables and Breeding Stall.
